Liquidity readiness
Ensure LNGX liquidity and exchange readiness by delivering the protocol and infrastructure upgrades required ahead of listing.
Roadmap
Two initiatives. Three releases.
Lineage’s path to a fully distributed network runs through three sequenced releases, Phoenix, Austria, and Nakamoto, each carrying one of the protocol’s two defining initiatives. The sequence is deliberate: liquidity readiness first, then the economic layer, then the irreversible step into full decentralization.
What we are driving toward
Every release maps to one of two initiatives. Together they take Lineage from listing-ready to fully distributed.
Full decentralization
Ship the capabilities required for a fully distributed network. This is the final step-change. After it, fast, centralized updates are no longer possible.
Sequenced, not parallel
Each release has a clear focus and a rising bar for correctness. Timing is indicative and tracks the 2026 development cycles.
Release 01
Phoenix
Liquidity readiness · 2026Core network upgrades, hardening, and the release-critical changes needed for listing, including the Ethereum and Solana bridges.
Release 02
Austria
Economic layer · 2026The economic and market layer: currency, ARCO compute, and smart-market functionality, with the financial policy that governs fees and rewards.
Release 03
Nakamoto
Full decentralization · finalThe fully distributed, feature-complete release, and the last of the three. After Nakamoto, fast centralized updates are no longer possible.
Inside each release
Phoenix
Must be ready for the listing eventCore network upgrades, hardening, and release-critical changes ahead of LNGX liquidity. Its timeline is constrained by bridge availability: an earlier start enables both the Ethereum and Solana bridges; a later start sequences the Ethereum bridge first.
Transaction serialization
Improved serialization for cheaper transaction storage, P2SH payment support, and the groundwork for future enhancements.
Miner validation & Merkle tree
Collaborative, chunked validation with a nested transaction/miner root: the minimum security work that opens up dynamic block sizes.
Phoenix block
A clean upgrade block that carries breaking changes forward, starting a new chain from the current UTXO set.
RAFT clustering
Run multiple mempool/storage pairs under consensus, from local containers to testnet to mainnet.
Ethereum bridge
Lock / mint / burn / release across an Ethereum bridge, from internal testnet through public launch.
Solana bridge
Extend bridging to Solana with native contracts, SDK integration, and relayer support.
Coinbase rebase
Align LNGX to 72,000,000 fractions for cleaner exchange compatibility.
Austria
The economic & market layerThe school-of-economics release: the currency, ARCO compute, and smart-market functionality that turn markets into programs, plus the financial policy that sets fees and rewards.
ARCO
How miners price and time on-chain compute workloads, and how users specify that work, designed then implemented as the core of the release.
Scripting
The scripting model that defines programmable market transactions, including standardized financial-contract (ACTUS) types.
Transaction fees
Fees calculated by the mempool and awarded to miners.
Financial policies
Set the initial transaction fee and block reward.
Difficulty function
Proven stable on testnet; validated under GPU load and deployed to mainnet.
Block explorer stability
Performance and indexing hardening for a responsive public explorer.
Nakamoto
The final releaseOur fully distributed, feature-complete release, and the last of the three. Once Nakamoto ships, the control we currently have to make easy updates is gone, so it carries the highest bar for correctness and operational readiness.
Gossip protocol
Peer-to-peer messaging (Fireflies-based) so nodes coordinate by broadcast rather than central HTTP calls.
Mempool selection under consensus
Bring mempool nodes under consensus so node selection is trust-minimized.
FReT monetary policy
Reserve-token monetary policy design and economic validation, developed with advisor input to keep the system sound money.
Burn & issuance policy
Issuance tied to assets under management, with a thermostat-style burn policy that steers supply toward target.
Block rewards for mempool & storage
Reward mempool and storage hosts, not just miners, to incentivize resources and reliability.
Storage rental
Item lifetimes governed by rental fees, with reconnection and pruning for unpaid items.
On timingRelease order is fixed; dates track the active 2026 development cycles and firm up as each release lands. For the most current status, follow development in the open on GitHub and the Fremen Forum.
Build alongside the roadmap
The protocol is developed in the open. Read the research, then start with the developer tools.
